Price Paid:
$300.00
Purchased At:
Billy's Downhill Pro store
Strengths:
Fast, good shimano setup as well as having a very good suspension fork.
Weaknesses:
Badly made rear triangle and poor rear shock
Similar Products Used:
none
Bike Setup:
'99' Scott Vertigo Comp full suspension DH with Rockshox Indy and Shimano XTR setup
Bottom Line:
It was a very goood bike for a little while but after entering a few Downhill competitions I noticed that a few components started to loosen or appear with stress cracks. Now I would rather ride a GT i-drive, a lot like Steve Peats Downhill bike. A serious rider would not want the Scott Vertigo.

Strengths:
This bike is very confortable. It climbs with speed and agility. After a good set-up this bike works very well.
Weaknesses:
The cables are running under the bottom bracket. When I ride in winter, the cables are taking water and then they are freezing...
Bike Setup:
xt/lx mavic 221 rock shok judy xc rock shox deluxe ritchey z-max / speedmax
Bottom Line:
It's a good marathon bike. I haven't any problem with the bike. But today I would buy the new Scott G-Zero. This is the new generation, lighter and faster....
